AN OBJECTIONABLE MYsTERY.-I
watched a woman weighing herself In
a grocery store the other day. She had
just purchased a pound package of sal
eratus and had it in her hand when she
stepped on to the scales.
"Why, I've gained a poundi" she
remarked to herself, when she had fin
ished manipulating the weights.
Then, remembering her saleratus, she
exclaimed:
'Oh, Lordl 1 forgot l had this, and
hastily popped the package into her
pocket.
Then she began to work the weights
and wondered why she could get no
different result. When she left the
store, with knitted brow, she was evil

ledge, which IS growing everyday less,

Ny experience goes to prove that the
effect Of wine taken as a preliminary

Such a liberal education as will 1t the

Rec. Charles Chdrroptn s. j. thinks
the use of bromide paper in photography
will drive crayon portraits out or tie
market. He says: 81 take a negative
of the size of a thumb.nall, and then
enlarge it as is done in the magic Ian
tern. 1t may be reproduced as a posi-
tive in any size. One advantage is that
such a picture is permanent, while the
ordinary photograph fades in the course
of time. Extra care is required in Civ
ing the washing, or otherwise 1t may
assume a brownish tinge. To the or
binary observer there seems no differ
nee in the picture on bromide paper

IN the experiment of Sir ]. B. Laws,
of Rothamstei, England, he finds that
his experimental plat Of mangolds
planted for forty years on the same
ground is much more thrifty than his
main crop of thirty acres to which he
applies both barnyard and
nitrate Of soda. He attributes the sup
eriority of the small plat to the fact that
every weed was destroyed as soon as
1t became visible. In the wet season
he believes the weeds IL the main crop
took more nitrogen than was supplied
by the fertilizers applied. This is
worth thinking of by farmers. Manure
costs too much money to allow its
naturalization from lack of clear Gull
ture.

Mr.. ". anderson NJ. l. G. q. has sue
cessfully employed iron, preferably IN
its ''spongy" form. as a purifier OF wa
ter, by shaking the iron up with the
water, instead of simply letting the
water filter through the iron. The idea
was suggested to him by Sir Frederick
Abel. The water passes first into a
revolving cylinder, through hollow
trunnlons, and the iron is showered
down through the water, which after
ward falls through a height where 1t
becomes aerated. and then filters
through a sand bed. Three of these
revolving purifiers are now at work in
Antwerp. Mr., Anderson believes that
iron can purify almost any water for
dietetic purposes.

AT present there are nineteen manuiac-
turers in the United Kingdom, who pay
a license of 90 sh lliDgs, and who pro
duced 100000 packs last year; This
did not meet the demand of the English
card player, so half as many again were
imported from Austrian and American
makers. The stamp duty imposed on
those cards is now a fairly important
source of revenue. Last year IT
amounted to nearly 10000 pounds
